SAFETY FIRST

   No matter how well any tire is constructed, punctures, impact damage, improper inflation, improper maintenance, or service factors may cause tire failure creating a risk of property damage and serious or fatal injury. truck operators should examine their tires frequently for snags, bulges, excessive tread wear, separations, or cuts. If such conditions appear, demount the tire and see a truck tire shop immediately.

How to choose the right tire?

   Here is an example of the Michelin application classification:

• LINE HAUL (INDEX "A" X LINE) This truck tires will be best suited for heavy loads and high speeds for extended periods of time. Primarily interstate or devided highway.

• REGIONAL (INDEX "E" X MULTI) Would work for regional operations with medium to heavy loads, frequently on 2-lane roads. Vehicles generally return to home base at night. Emerging Super Regional application combines driving conditions seen in Line Haul and Regional applications.

• ON/OFF ROAD (INDEX "Y" X WORKS) Is perfect for heavy loads and slower speeds, operating on a mixture of improved secondary and aggressive road surface.

• OFF ROAD (INDEX "L" X FORCE) Is a great tire for very heavy loads normally on poor or unimproved surfaces.

• URBAN (INDEX "U" X INCITY) Suits stop-and-go delivery within a limited radius-metro and suburban.

• COACH AND RECREATIONAL (X COACH) Designed for coaches and recreational vehicles.
